Vyakhyana Saram: Throughout this prabandham, from the beginning, Azhvar spoke of devas and rishis. They approach Him for certain things and return after obtaining them. In this last pasuram, Azhvarsays that, unlike them, his only goal is the blossoming of His face as He wakes up. Therefore, he says that He should wake up for Azhvar's sake, and concludes the prabandham.A good prabandham would show a connection from the beginningto the end. For example, Nammazhvar started Thiruviruththamwith "adiyEn seyyum viNNappam" and concluded with "mARanviNNappam seydha"; Andal began Thiruppavai with "namakkEpaRai tharuvAn" and finished with "angkap paRai koNdavARRai";Alavandar started Stotra Ratnam with "nAthAya munayE" andfinished with "pitAmaham nAthamunim vilokya". Similarly,Thondaradippodi Azhvar started this prabandham by talkingabout the Sun rising and lotus flowers blossoming and finishes with the same.However, there is an additional greatness to this prabandham.Each pasuram of this prabandham says that the day has furtherdawned than in the previous pasuram. Matching to that, the first and last pasurams speak of the Sun dawning and the lotus flowers blooming - but, there is a difference between the two pasurams. In the first pasuram, Azhvar said that theSun has approached the eastern mountain. Upon hearing the news that children who had gone out of the country are returning, the faces of those who are related to them would blossom. Similarly, seeing the Sun rise a little, the lotus which is related to the Sun began to blossom a little and the nectar began to flow through the gap. In the last pasuram,Azhvar says that the Sun has fully risen in the sky and the lotus flowers have also fully blossomed, showing that the day has now completely dawned. -- Thiruppalliyezhuchchi Vyakhyana Saram: ..
